Same rural scenes you find in the Philippines. I love your inclusion of contentment. Because they do. They strive but they are not very ambitious. Rather that than those who have but still ask for more.

I’m spoiled too, although I don’t require fancy hotels. But some of your pics look like it’s quite a trashy country. Maybe reminds me a bit of India, which was really a challenge. I’m thinking, should I or shouldn’t I? It remains to be seen. 🙂

I am having a difficult time receiving your new posts on my reader and my e mails. Should I be signing up as a follower again. WP does little tricks from time to time … keeping us on our toes???? hahaha
Nice photo, Sylvia. Quite a bit of poverty there … their housing looks extremely primitive.
Glad you made it to Florida even if it was a bit hectic. RU on the west coast of Fla?
Just wondering. Happy GRAND weekend…!!!

YUP … that was it. I thought it would automatically change on my blog. Silly me !!!! ~~~~~ : – ) Thanks
Palm Beach is south of Melbourne where my sister-in-law lives. Her hubby worked for NASA .. now retired.
I’m south of Sarasota about 25 minutes. It seems a bit more tropical in these areas.
Have Happy Florida days and sunsets !!!!!

Yes, we did, Paula. It was such a relief when we were told we could now go. These officials seem to have no concept of time, or of how much they are inconveniencing people. He even told us that we had broken no rules, but didn’t apologise at all for wasting our precious time.
I didn’t buy very much, as we had not much space in our luggage.; just a pretty lizard pendant, a sweet little decorated wooden box, and a frame containing four colourful butterflies. 🙂

These poor villages I bring much sadness … I would like to know how to live this condition the people who live there, as always, photos are interesting and beautiful, thanks for having me born with
I wish you a happy homecoming

Thanks so much, Ventis. Yes, it always makes me sad too, to see how some people have to live like this, but they were so friendly and seemed happy, even though they had so little. It really made me think. xx

No, the pictures weren’t taken from the airport. 🙂 They were taken in Tortoguero, one of the first areas we visited a few days earlier. 🙂 Costa Rica International airport is quite big, and the security is very strict.

Thanks, Col. Incompetence of passport control guys who can’t do their arithmetic and kept us hanging around for two hours while they tried to tot up how many days we’d spent here this year. Eventually, after much scratching of heads, they worked out that we were well within the limit, and released us without any apology of course. We got to bed after midnight. 😦
